This week I had a conversation with an Australian tourist who was back in Israel for the first time since the Corona shutdown, writes Michael Kuttner…

He echoed an observation I have heard several times from other visitors who have returned after a two year’s absence.

All of them are astounded at the pace that the country is developing its infrastructure and at the dynamic atmosphere which is so noticeable.

That is the story of Israel as it transforms into a world leader in so many areas and overcomes obstacles which would have sunk most other countries.

FOOD REVOLUTION 

Most people associate Israel and innovation with hi-tech, medical and scientific achievements.

Now, a whole new field of Israeli research and development is under way and it will have major implications for countries which need to feed growing populations, our bodies which require more healthy alternatives and the environment which needs sustaining.

Once again, Israel is in the forefront of this revolutionary development.
